Free PowerPoint Intro Video Template

I see a LOT of people creating these 30 second special effects extravaganzas for Camtasia “Intro” clips. While these are fun ‘n’ all, they probably don’t help your video marketing cause as much as one might think.

Let’s keep things simple and SHORT!

Nobody cares about a flashy Flash splash clip…at least not as much as they just want to get on with the video content!

Here’s a little PowerPoint template and tutorial with a clean, simply, and elegant way to quickly introduce the topic of your video:

Just make your text modifications, adjust the bracket path if necessary and then use our standard Slide Show -> Record Slide Show method to record the action.

Once that’s done (in PowerPoint 2010), do a File -> Save & Send -> Create Video and export your cool Intro which will create a WMV video file you can drop right into Camtasia.

Love to hear your thoughts so leave a comment!

As always Lon – Top Man – Nice Brackety Template. I’ve used your YouTube Directory Template to great effect – it has increased my click throughs considerably – so much so that I’m currently experimenting with several variations.
